Nice work mate, I see you're much more refined in your approach and execution then I am/was!
My build is here
Interestingly I recently made a les paul junior (not a kit - from an old door) and went with a string through which I didn't do on my TL-1HA, and although my ferrules are not aligned perfectly I'm not too concerned as it will have no impact other than aesthetics.
Keen to see yours once finished!
